You would call them KKK skinheads I asked, after you stated that this is a waste of taxpayer's money, where should we draw the line? Should we not take murderers to trial, just let them go because of the cost? What about rapists? Robbers? Those trials also cost money. Zimmerman might be in a good spot. Let the zealots charge and try him. Once he walks sue the Florida government for political persecution. A good lawyer could make it happen. Your knowledge of the legal system is...entirely not there. |

That last statement is not precisely as you claim. If he precipitated the events and then went after the kid...stand your ground may not apply. |

I wish the idiots who think you should lay down and take a beating from a punk should hear themselves think. -- Liberal-socialism is a great idea so long as the credit is good and other people pay for it. When the credit runs out and those that pay for it leave, they can all share having nothing. |

I really think the SP plans to lose this case, just for ammunition to attack the law. Maybe they should just propose SYG as a constitutional amendment and let the voters decide. They did it with pregnant pigs and gill nets so it would not be the dumbest thing that was proposed tor amendment status. It seems pretty clear that Zimmerman was following Martin as the latter walked to the house in the subdivision where his dad was staying, and that Zimmerman confronted Martin, and that Zimmerman apparently went back to his car where his gun was stashed, and that Zimmerman was told by the police dispatcher to remain in his car and that he didn't. I'm not that familiar with florida's insane stand your ground statute, but it seems to me that Zimmerman instigated a confrontation. From the beginning, Martin was under no obligation to respond to Zimmerman's apparent interrogation. If I were walking through a neighborhood and some moron adult starting questioning me, I'd think the guy was a nut case and I'd start walking faster, figuring the guy was trying to start a fight or worse. That stand your ground bull**** law needs to be modified. |

I think this is biased interpretation. Granted the choice of words was unfortunate but the intended meaning of the dispatcher was quite clear. Don't follow. The fact is that the dispatcher said what the dispatcher said. The policy and procedure manual for the 911 operators will be reviewed and analyzed. Your interpretation is your interpretation and it is made with the luxury of time and safety. |

And as far as we all know, he didn't... he turned to go back to his car and was jumped. |
